Systems and methods are provided for dynamically optimizing and configuring various aspects of virtual desktops in virtual desktop infrastructure. Data collectors can be installed on and operate on various components in the virtual desktop infrastructure, such as on the virtual desktops running on the server, on the virtual desktop clients running on user devices, and on the connection server. The data collectors can operate to collect various types of information from corresponding components, such as application usage data and status, device performance, networking environment and speed, application or system crash data, and so on. The collected data can be logged, tracked, and analyzed to perform various actions on the virtual desktop.

Dynamic and intelligent virtual desktop management

Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines are described. A host user context configuration can be received from a host management agent. The host user context configuration can include one or more policies. A managed virtual machine user context configuration can be received from a guest management agent within a managed virtual machine. A portion of the host user context configuration can be processed using a translation matrix to identify a configuration service provider (CSP)-based profile that is mapped to a policy from the host user context configuration. A command to enforce the CSP-based profile on the managed virtual machine can be transmitted.

Transition to modern management using managed virtual machines

In one set of embodiments, a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) client running on a client device can receive first client-side data from a client telemetry service, where the first client-side data includes information pertaining to a current state of the client device. The VDI client can further retrieve second client-side data including information pertaining to the VDI client and/or a VDI session established between the VDI client and a VDI agent running on a server system, and can aggregate the first client-side data and the second client-side data to produce aggregated client-side data. The VDI client can then transmit the aggregated client-side data to the VDI agent.

Client telemetry framework for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)

Examples of enterprise management using managed virtual machines are described. Virtual machine files can be extracted from a virtual machine package and stored on a host device. The virtual machine files can include a managed virtual machine configuration file, an NVRAM file, and a virtual disk file, as well as other files. A digital signature of the managed virtual machine package can be verified. The digital signature can be based on the managed virtual machine configuration file, the NVRAM file, and a virtual disk file. The managed virtual machine can be added to a virtual machine inventory of the host desktop hypervisor and executed.

Managed virtual machines

An example method is provided for a first host running a client software to provision a virtual machine on the first host in a virtualized computing environment including one or more hosts. The method may include generating a license key message, transmitting the license key message to a second host via a peer-to-peer (P2P) network including the first host and the second host, receiving a determination of the second host whether the virtual machine can be provisioned on the first host via the P2P network, and deciding whether to provision the virtual machine on the first host based on the determination. Some example license key messages may include a license key and a seat number and a sharable level indicator associated with the license key.
